I love learning new languages.
I spent all spring with my brain in a knot
trying to better my French.
I'm always learning new vocabulary
to help my Italian get fuller.
And I'm in Iceland right now
laughing at how ridiculously hard this language is.
I love the challenge of unlocking what words mean.
But this time,
I'm taking a standard Italian word
and translating it into something
that means a bit more than the standard translation.
Si!
Bimbi a bordo!
I'm 17 weeks {and 4 days}
and due March 16.
Tyler & I feel humbled and excited
as we begin to get ready for this next adventure.
Thanks for your love & support during this special time.
It means the world to us to share the news with those we love.
Oh my goodness!
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations to you! I hope you have a healthy and easy pregnancy!
OH WOW! Congrats, girl!! How exciting!!
ReplyDeleteAww congratulations! That is so exciting! I love your translation : ) And bimbi a bordo, ha, I love it!
